Bath resealing near East Hamlet

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

How we handle bath resealing in East Hamlet

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone coming away from the tiles and black mould in the sealant.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units

What affects the price in East Hamlet

We don’t charge extra for travel to East Hamlet. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for East Hamlet. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
